Berkshire Manorial Records

speaker
Sarah Charlton

7.30 pm, Tuesday 22nd June 2010 at St John's Parish Room


Manorial documents are an incredibly important resource for the local historian, but, all too often, they have been all but impossible to track down.

Not any more!  Our speaker tonight has recently completed a comprehensive survey of the manors of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire identifying what manors existed and where any surviving manorial records are held.

What gems has she uncovered, how can you access these records? Now is your chance to find out.

The Speaker
Sarah Charlton is an archivist at the Buckinghamshire Record Office and was Project Officer for this local element of the national Manorial Documents Register.
